Chapter 10: The Princess of Magic
Right at the moment, Twilight Sparkle saw Starlight Glimmer's potential. Remembering the ancient spell Princess Celestia had taught her recently when she herself became the Princess of Friendship, she transformed Starlight into an alicorn and gave her the title "The Princess of Magic".
Starlight was dumbfounded, trying to figure out her new wings.
Twilight smiled, putting a reassuring hoof on Starlight.
"I was just like that when Princess Celestia turned me into a princess." she said.
"Wait a minute." Starlight said, "You mean to tell me that you were born a unicorn?"
"Yeah! She was even born in Canterlot and her brother, Shining Armor was a guard!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"But now he's married to Princess Cadance and has a daughter named Flurry Heart." Twilight explained, "You wanted to know how I became a princess and it all starts when I moved to Ponyville to study friendship under Princess Celestia. But the main reason I became a princess is because I mastered the Magic of Friendship and finished Star Swirl's spell. Princess Celestia saw my potential, as I did with you. Like mentor like student."
"What about the other princesses? Were they born a different race too?" Starlight asked.
"Only you, me, and Cadance." Twilight replied, "As a matter of fact, my old foalsitter and my current sister-in-law was born a pegasus. How she grew that horn, I never understood. As far as the Royal Sisters, they were the only ponies that were actually born alicorns."
"You're forgetting Flurry Heart. Wasn't she born an alicorn?" Starlight said.
"My niece is an exception." said Twilight.
"Oh OK." Starlight Glimmer said, "I just have one more question for you."
Twilight smiled.
"Anything you need, Starlight. I'm here for you through thick and thin." she said.
"Thank you." said the new princess.
Starlight hesitated then sighed.
"Will you teach me how to use these wings later?" she asked.
Once again, the purple alicorn smiled.
"Sure, I'll be with you every step of the way."she said, "I promise."
But Starlight couldn't wait! How she wanted to take to the sky! How she wanted to soar! The question arose more than ever in her mind: What are these wings and what does she see in me?
The Princess of Magic Lyrics
Verse 1: I wonder what does she see in me?
What makes me worthy of these wings?
How will I fly and use my magic hoof in hoof?
Refrain: If only I knew what was happening, what she sees in me
What are these wings
And how am I supposed to get used to being the Princess of Magic?
Verse 2: I must have done something extraordinary
Twilight finished the spell that Star Swirl the Bearded couldn't, what did I do?
I just assisted with the Elements using my magic
I didn't do anything out of the ordinary
I liked my life as a unicorn,
Powerful and learning friendship
After Twilight gave me a second chance
But being an alicorn is a big step.
(to refrain)
Bridge: If I only knew what I did to get where I am now
If only I knew what I did, how it made me
Worthy of these wings
I just wanna scream and shout
And cut them off!
What's my potential? I don't see it!
These wings are standing in my way!
Verse 3: Twilight says to calm down but I don't know how
Please just give me a chill pill now
I don't understand what's happening to me,
Twilight please explain this to me!
I can't go through this alone!
What do you see in me, what do I need to be?
Be my insight, I need help!
Oh, I can't do this by myself!
Why did you give me these wings?
I need answers now!
I need answers now.
(to refrain x2)
Twilight put a reassuring hoof on her former student.
"Come with me and I'll explain it back at the castle." she said, guiding Starlight back to The Castle of Friendship. Everypony was alright, but were they really?
